Abstract
The study investigated
the extent of involvement of corps members in community development programmes
in Anambra State, Nigeria. Four research questions guided the study. The study
adopted descriptive survey research design. The population of the study
comprised all the Corps members for the 2023 Batch A service year within the 21
Local Government Area in Anambra State. The sample of the study comprised of
550 corps members selected through proportionate random sampling technique. The
instrument used for data collection was questionnaire titled ‘‘Involvement of
Corps Members in Community Development Questionnaire (ICMCDQ)’’ which was
subjected to face and content validity by two experts, one from the Department
of Adult and Continuing Education and the other from the Department of
Educational Foundations (Measurement and Evaluation option), all from Faculty
of Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria, The
reliability of the instrument was computed using cronbach alpha and 0.81, 0.78,
0.76, and 0.75 were obtained from the four clusters of the instrument and
considered adequate for the study. Mean was used to analyze the data collected.
The findings of the study revealed that corps members involved in health
service to their host communities to a low extent. Corps members involved to a
high extent in provision of infrastructural facilities to their host
communities through their community development services, among others. Based
on the findings, the following recommendations were made: Government should
increase the allowance of corps members as a way of motivating them to be
committed in rendering services to people at the grass-root. The government
through her agencies should monitor and supervise the way and manner corps
members render educational services to their host communities. This will make
them more effective in their work, among others.
